We Don't Want Them: Race and Housing in Metropolitan Detroit, 1900 - 1968

Exhibtion open February 15 - 27, 2013
FREE with Museum Admission

Do you live where you want to live, or where you have to live? It’s a question that many people either do not think about, or have never asked themselves. Why? Because today the ability to simply live in a house is viewed as a basic necessity that affords numerous choices and one that is accessible to everyone. History, however, has proven that to be untrue. In reality, the founding of America’s cities and towns have been built upon social, economic, and legally sanctioned racial separation, and these disparities have been presented most poignantly in the engaging traveling exhibition, We Don’t Want Them: Race and Housing in Metropolitan Detroit, 1900 – 1968.
